[lace-chat] Secret Pal

[lace-chat] Insane?
I'm sane. I didn't find anything to laugh at. I'm a Formula 1 fan, and have often put human sounds, and even words on to the sound the cars make. So perhaps I'm insane after all.

[lace-chat] Left Right
<> Yes. We drive on the left, but stand on the right on escalators on the tube. Curiously, in the busier corridors in the tube, the signs usually say "Keep Left". Regarding what someone said earlier about riding on the left so your sword hand was free if a stranger approached, I once told this story to an American friend, to illustrate that our way of drving (on the left) was superior to his . He wouldn't have this, so I asked what he would have done, riding his horse on the right, if a stranger approached and drew his sword. He said, "I'd get out my gun and shoot him!"

[lace-chat] Legally insane
Tamara, Had to come out of lurkdom to say I loved this site! I thought for a while that I was sane... then realized I had the computer on "mute" - didn't even last 5 seconds then.

[lace-chat] Re: Novel idea
Rose-Marie, Yes I have thought about it several times. Not specifically a book from a bobbinlacemakers stand point, but a children's book about tatting. I have the entire book with illustrations in my head. Have my sketchy notes on the layout too. Just a matter of putting it into fruition. I was planning on having the story book accompanied by a basic tatting pattern how to book for kids(or kid at heart). This is in one of my many books that I would like to write somewhere down the road. Mark, aka Tatman www.tat-man.net (creative with pen and ink, watercolor and other media ;) I wonder if some of you who are also creative with "pen and ink" have thought of writing a novel about lacers in bygone centuries - sort of a lace version of "the red tent". The lace cellar. If no one has thought of it, I hope someone will pick this up and run with it. I for one would buy the book.

Re: [lace-chat] :) Fwd: Insane?
Hi Tamara, Oh Gosh!!! I turned it all on, waited for it to load, then my socks were shocked off! The volume had been turned up *really loud*, so I am sitting here nearly deafened. I am not only insane, but burbling..

Re: [lace-chat] Right? Left?
Hurrah! Someone else! And Sigmund Freud too! I have to look at my hands to tell which is left and which is right. I have no problems knowing directions, just can't put the names to right and left Sue [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace-chat] Right? Left?
Well, I know my right from my left. Although I didn't used to, until I became a gliding instructor . It didn't take long to sink in once I had to use it in earnest. You sit behind your pupil in most two-seat training aircraft, so it becomes apparent very quicckly that most people get it wrong, or at least have to pause and think about it. (And you can see the ones who have little signals to themselve as they are reflected in the perspex canopy.) Even many airline pilots seemed to have this difficulty.

[lace-chat] Totally OT. Book search - Not Lace
Can anyone help? Approaching my half century and with a ski trip looming next Feb (keeping up with 17 yr olds) I have to shape up and get fit fast! Gently if at all possible! (Lacemaking is not conducive to this effort!!) I've been told that 'The Royal Canadian Air Force XBX Plan for Physical Fitness for Women' is an excellent course and have been trying to find a copy - it's way out of print. Does anyone have a copy they'd like to sell? Penguin books did it in paperback in the 60's-70's. Thanks for any help. Lynne.

[lace-chat] Rugby Team Pre-Match Rituals [Funny] : ]
This is a cut-&-paste from an email I receive from the BBC programme "Newsnight", so I'll have to assume permissionhas been given to send it on, but it's just too funny not to share! As it seems to slander all nations equally, I'll make no apologies for the content. Linda Walton, in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, U.K. Finally, in the run-up to the rugby world cup quarter-finals, news to offend most nations from Joanna Forman in Sydney. Following complaints made to the IRB about the All Blacks performance of the 'Haka' before their games, the Board has now agreed the following pre-match rituals of their own. A. The England team will chat about the weather, wave hankies in the air and attach bells to their ankles before moaning about how they invented the game, and gave it to the world, and how it's not fair that everyone can beat them now. Failing that they will see what the Americans are doing and join in. B. The Scotland team will chant "You lookin' at me Jimmy?" before smashing an Irn Bru bottle over their opponents' heads. C. Unfortunately the Committee were unable to accept the Welsh suggestion following representations from the RSPCA. D. Argentina will unexpectedly invade a small part of opposition territory, claim it as their own "Las In-Goals-Areas" and then be forcibly removed by the England team. E. Two members of the South African team will claim to be more important than the other 13 whom they will coral between the posts whilst they claim the rest of the pitch for themselves. F. The Americans will not attend until almost full time. In future years they will amend the records to show that they were in fact the most important team in the tournament and make lots of films to prove it. G. Five of the Canadian team will sing La Marsaillaise and hold the rest of the team to ransom. H. The Italian team will arrive in bright red cars, harass the female stewards and then run away. I. The French will declare they have new scientific evidence that the opposition are all mad. They will then park lorries across the half-way line, let sheep loose in the opposition half (unless playing Wales) and burn the officials. However they may not attend the World Cup at all as it involves the deployment of Frenchmen in another part of the world. J. The Australians will have a barbie before negotiating lucrative singing and TV contracts in the UK. They will then invite all their mates to come and live with them in Shepherds Bush. K. The Ireland team will split into two, with the Southern half performing a Riverdance, while the Northerners march the Traditional route from their dressing room to the pitch, via their opponents' dressing room.

[lace-chat] Left or right?
I had a friend who never bothered to learn 'right' or 'left'. She relied on everyone knowing what she meant when she said 'knife' and 'fork'.
